Carousel Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change who you are just to fit in
You act like a snake
Hiding in the grass waiting for me
I'm so sick of this scene
You're nothing but a zombie to me
Feeding your apathy
So this means war
What is your cause
Why do you fight
You think you're in charge
Of what is wrong and what is right
I'm so sick of this scene
You're nothing but a zombie to me
Feeding your apathy
So this means war
So this means war
What is your cause
Why do you fight
For what you think is wrong and right
We're all so sick of this scene
You're nothing more than a zombie to me
Just feeding your apathy
I want you to know
You're just a zombie to me
The lyrics to Carousel Kings's song "Zombie" showcases the frustration towards the individuals who act as if they are too smart for their own good. These people change who they truly are just to be accepted by their peers. The use of the metaphor of a snake hiding in the grass, waiting to strike, implies that these individuals are dangerous and not to be trusted. The singer is so fed up with these people that they declare war against them.
The chorus of the song, "I'm so sick of this scene, you're nothing but a zombie to me, feeding your apathy," further emphasizes the singer's disdain towards these individuals. The term "zombie" suggests that these people are going through their lives mindlessly, with no purpose or passion for anything. They are just existing, not truly living. The use of "feeding your apathy" highlights that these individuals are content with their dull, uneventful life and don't want to see or do anything else.
The ending chorus of the song, "We're all so sick of this scene, you're nothing more than a zombie to me, just feeding your apathy, I want you to know, you're just a zombie to me," indicates that the singer is not alone in their frustration towards these people. The use of "we're all" suggests that this is a widespread issue and that more people are starting to see through the facade. The repetition of "you're just a zombie to me" only solidifies the point of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
You think you're smart
You believe you're intelligent
Change who you are just to fit in
Altering your true self to conform with others
You act like a snake
Your behavior resembles that of a deceptive serpent
Hiding in the grass waiting for me
Lurking in the background, anticipating your next move
I'm so sick of this scene
I am exceedingly weary of this environment
You're nothing but a zombie to me
You're lifeless and robotic in my eyes
Feeding your apathy
Nurturing your lack of emotion and enthusiasm
So this means war
This is a declaration of conflict between us
What is your cause
What is your purpose or motivation
Why do you fight
Why do you engage in conflict
You think you're in charge
You believe yourself to be in control
Of what is wrong and what is right
Of what is deemed morally incorrect or appropriate
We're all so sick of this scene
Everyone is immensely tired of this setting
You're nothing more than a zombie to me
You're still nothing but an emotionless machine in my perception
Just feeding your apathy
Merely providing nourishment to your lack of emotion and enthusiasm
I want you to know
I wish for you to comprehend
You're just a zombie to me
You're still nothing but an emotionless machine in my perception
